Previewing Arc’s future approach to opt-in privacy.
Sensitive financial workflows should not become public market data.
Arc’s privacy whitepaper outlines a roadmap for future confidentiality features with governed visibility for authorized parties.
Potential use cases include:
→ Payroll
→ Treasury
→ Trading workflows
→ Asset issuance
→ B2B payments and FX
Privacy without anonymity, designed for real financial activity onchain: https://t.co/V5PHZt6zuC
The Director of Holding Patterns?
No, thank you.
On Arc, financial workflows can move closer to straight to the point:
→ Sub-second deterministic finality
→ Stablecoin-native payments
→ Future opt-in privacy controls
Less waiting. Fewer forms. More programmable finance.
Our recent @lablabai hackathon with @GoogleDeepMind brought in 227 submissions exploring what becomes possible when AI agents, APIs, content, and real-world services can all be monetized with sub-cent USDC payments on Arc.
What stood out across the builds:
→ Agent-to-agent payments and autonomous economic activity
→ Pay-per-call APIs, content, and intelligence
→ Real-time settlement for trading, oracle, and security workflows
→ New monetization models for creators, researchers, and developers
The quality and breadth of submissions made it clear that programmable dollars and nanopayments are unlocking new internet business models.
Congrats to the winners below.

Building stablecoin-native workflows starts with the wallet.
Join us and @corey__cooper at Consensus Miami on May 5 for a workshop on setting up stablecoin wallets and dashboards for business use cases covering:
→ Wallet setup
→ Managing inflows and outflows
→ Normalizing crypto data for TradFi systems
→ Agent wallets and CLI-based wallet creation
For builders working on stablecoin-native apps and the agentic economy, this is a practical place to start.

Temple’s Lightspeed upgrade is a big step for trading on Canton.
Temple already brings a different model to on-chain markets: private, compliant, non-custodial trading built around Canton-native settlement.
And the activity is already meaningful.
Temple is processing over $1.5M in daily CC volume, and with v2 now supporting over 250k trades per day, the venue is starting to look like one of Canton’s key trading layers, with more pairs coming soon.
With Lightspeed, that experience gets much sharper.
The upgrade introduces a real-time orderbook, sub-10ms order matching, market orders, instant order placement and cancellations, a new SDK/API with WebSockets, and a cleaner deposit/withdrawal flow.
In simple terms: Temple is bringing centralized-exchange speed to Canton, while keeping what makes Canton different: privacy, compliance, atomic settlement, and user control.
It is not just about faster trades.
Lightspeed is designed to support more users, deeper liquidity, higher throughput, and more serious trading volume without turning Canton into another transparent, MEV-heavy public market.
That matters.
Institutions need privacy.
Active traders need speed.
Builders need reliable APIs.
Users need a smoother experience.
Canton needs venues where real settlement activity can grow.
Temple sits right at that intersection.
And with volume-based leaderboard rewards launching May 1, plus CC rewards per settled transaction, Temple is turning trading activity into a direct part of Canton’s economic engine.
Fast execution.
Private markets.
Non-custodial infrastructure.
Canton-native settlement.
That is what makes Temple worth paying attention to.
We're proud to announce that we have successfully completed our backend API pentest for @temple_ny! 🔐
Temple’s latest upgrade is a complete reconceptualization of private trading infrastructure on Canton. With Lightspeed, Temple offers a wide range of usability, speed and performance improvements to scale institutional markets on distributed networks.
Building capital markets infrastructure today means stitching together clearing, custody, reconciliation, and compliance across multiple disjointed systems.
On Arc, developers can:
→ Execute atomic DvP in a single transaction
→ Settle with deterministic finality in seconds
→ Embed compliance controls directly in asset logic
→ Automate distributions, redemptions, and margin flows
→ Manage stablecoin-native collateral onchain
Arc turns post-trade complexity into programmable infrastructure.
Building rails for capital markets applications designed for 24/7 real-time settlement.
